-Mahmoud Darwish

You are the knife I twist inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love."

-Franz Kafka

"I would split open my heart with a knife, place you within and seal my wound, that you might dwell there and never inhabit another…"

-Ibn Hazm

"In my culture, we know death intimately. In Arabic, the highest expression of love is the phrase "ya'aburnee" Translated "you bury me" . It means "I love you so much, I'd sooner die than bury you". It was used by mothers in our lineage who were so used to losing their young in war. In my culture, we cannot talk about love without speaking death's name"

-George Abraham, "Untitled," Published In Black Napkin Press

chen chen, nature poem in ‘when i grow up i want to be a list of further possibilities’

[makkachinplisetsky]

hm sometimes i wish i was one of those people who moves thousands of miles away and never looks back and has a ton of adventures unmoored from their past and where they’re from but i can’t help looking back and i’m deeply, fervently defined by every person, thing, or place i’ve ever loved

the left will fail and keep failing as long as it doesn't offer joy or a vision of the future. Like chris smalls and the union organizers didn't win by writing scathing op-eds about Amazon and sending out long dry newsletters with donation links about Amazon's unfair labor practices to employees, they won by literally meeting people where they were at, at the bus stop where the workers gathered to go home, and hosting cookouts and bonfires. He ate with people and smoked with them and talked to them about their lives and the job, about their rights as workers and how life could be better. He brought joy to them!!! And food and community!! And that's how one of the biggest victories for labor in a century was won. If I can't dance I don't want to be in your revolution

the vibes at this year's australian gp are truly something else. like. the scuderia ferrari garage has been vibing to the same neapolitan song for a month now. charles leclerc says, unprovoked and for the second time since they're teammates, that he does NOT want to shower with carlos sainz. lewis hamilton implies max verstappen has a nipple piercing then asks george russel to call him SIR hamilton. sergio perez claims he has seen marx verstappen lying naked on the floor. pierre gasly responds to the FIA's sudden obsession with drivers' underwear and jewelry by offering to show them his arse AND c0ck. sebastian vettel gets fined for stealing a marshal's scooter. also there is a war going on between canadians and one of them gets a grid penalty which results in him going from 20th to... 20th

“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?' 

'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”
